Florence: How about a direct order to the robots not to harm themselves?
Rover17: They have already disobeyed orders. If such behavior spreads, it would be a danger to humans. Apoptosis for human safety would override the order.
Florence: Thank you, Rover17. I will have to think about this.
Rover17: You are welcome. I will also think about this.
Rover17 (thinking): My purpose is to rove, identify problems, and report them. People downstream come up with solutions. My first thinking about this is: Should I even be thinking about this?
